PIPER
VENUE
by frenzy theatre co
Once upon a time in a far away land some dude with a flute ran an elaborate scam.
Well that's the official stance of the council and media… they’re always reliable right?
Frenzy Theatre Co presents the Australian Gothic reimagining of the Pied Piper of Hamelin with an ensemble of female and non-binary performance makers, circus artists and live instrumentalists. A warped version of the much loved fable that will have you questioning the very ground you stand on and rooting for the wrong side.
PIPER is a theatrical explosion of ideas that defies definition for a post-truth media saturated world. It's fun, it's bold, it's unforgettable.
